A script can now hold and compare negative values: int16_t members, signed comparison, signed / and %, and uvX/uvY returning a real signed coordinate with the center of the grid at 0. The escape() builtin ships the Mandelbrot and Julia sets as fractal.mle, scripted controls show their defaults with a reset button, and desktop builds carry the same computed -dev.N version as ESP32 builds, so a desktop is told when a newer latest build exists.

Core

  • IrOp::BranchGeS: signed comparison as a NEW op. BranchGe stays unsigned for the loop guards, the array clamp and the jump idiom, which depend on a negative reading as huge. Exhaustive backend switches make a forgotten lowering a compile error.
  • CtrlType::Int16 + LoadCtrl16S: sign-extending member loads on all four backends (Xtensa l16si, RISC-V lh, arm64 ldrsh, x86-64 movsx). Member stores select by WIDTH: the one-byte store an int16_t member used to get wrote half of it, collapsing every assigned coordinate to 0..255.
  • int16_t initializers accept a leading minus and are range-checked: int16_t d = 60000; is a compile error naming the range, the sentinel bug that rendered a whole shader black turned into a diagnostic. int16_t arrays are refused (the indexed load is unsigned) rather than mis-read.
  • x86-64 compares dropped REX.W: a value is 32 bits and arm64 compares in w registers, so a signed compare would have made the two backends run the same script differently.
  • The Xtensa branch-inversion table lists every nibble: the old fallthrough would have emitted the OPPOSITE condition for the new signed branch.
  • signedArg's undocumented 16-bit window deleted. div/mod are signed like every language a script author knows, with INT32_MIN / -1 guarded (UB, a SIGFPE on x86-64). byteArg saturates the palette byte arguments where a cast used to truncate.

Light domain

  • escape(cx, cy, jx, jy, iters): the Mandelbrot/Julia escape count, the one loop a script cannot write (it squares signed fixed-point in 64 bits).
  • uvX/uvY return a signed coordinate, no +32768 bias. sin/cos KEEP their bias on purpose: a wave has no origin, and scale(sin(a), n) at 14 call sites relies on the full-span form.
  • fractal.mle new (Julia morphing along the cardioid, seed 0 = still Mandelbrot); metal.mle migrated to int16_t. Both hardware-verified on an S3 along with ripples and plasma, which must and do look identical.
  • PanelCardDriver: "v12 and older" first in the dropdown and the default, matching the documented downgrade path. Panel cards enabled on the S3 firmwares (W5500 SPI Ethernet).

UI

  • A control carries its own default; the reset button now works on MoonLive sliders (a scripted module's controls cannot be probed from its type).

Scripts/MoonDeck

  • package_desktop.py --version mirrors build_esp32.py's contract; CMake forwards MM_VERSION; the three desktop CI jobs resolve tag + version exactly as the esp32 job does. The .deb converts -dev.N to ~dev.N, dpkg's own spelling of a prerelease.
  • moondeck/moonlive/disasm.py repaired after the platform-file reorganisation; verified on all three cross-ISA targets.

Tests

96,215 assertions. New coverage: signed comparison per operator, int16_t round trips including assignment in tick(), byte saturation, uv sign + saturation, escape() inside/boundary/Julia, INT32_MIN division, int16_t array refusal. The comparison and store tests are control-checked: reintroducing either bug fails them.

Docs

  • panel-cards.md: LED Vision section with the walkthrough video, anchor-linked contents, S3 in the board table, LED Upgrade 4.0 + 11.09 as the proven pair, the USB dongle note, power rephrased around multiplexing.
  • Roadmap Plan-18: release-channel picker + OTA + Improv WiFi #7 marked shipped with the corrected diagnosis: none of the four motivating bugs was a comparison bug; three were the bias convention.

Reviews

👾 Reviewer over the branch diff: 7 findings + 6 nits, all processed (fixed: the INT32_MIN/-1 guard, a stale test index, int16_t array refusal, escape() docs+tests, fractal zoom capped at 40 for wide-wall int16 range; skipped: MIGRATING.md entries on the product owner's call, neither MoonLive nor panel cards is launched; reverted: scenario observation history polluted by background CPU load). Improv smoke test skipped: no board attached, path untouched.

A script can now hold and compare negative values: int16_t members, signed
comparison, signed / and %, and uvX/uvY returning a real signed coordinate with
the center of the grid at 0. The escape() builtin ships the Mandelbrot and Julia
sets as fractal.mle, scripted controls show their defaults with a reset button,
and desktop builds now carry the same computed -dev.N version as ESP32 builds,
so a desktop is told when a newer latest build exists.

Performance: desktop 491 us/tick (+54, collected on a loaded machine, see
Reviews), flash desktop 1,201 KB, esp32s3-n16r8 1,771 KB (+11 KB: escape(),
signed ops, panel cards). Shipped-script scenarios stayed inside their observed
ranges on a quiet run.

Core
- IrOp::BranchGeS: signed comparison as a NEW op. BranchGe stays unsigned for
  the loop guards, the array clamp and the jump idiom, which depend on a
  negative reading as huge. Exhaustive backend switches make a forgotten
  lowering a compile error.
- CtrlType::Int16 + LoadCtrl16S: sign-extending member loads on all four
  backends (Xtensa l16si, RISC-V lh, arm64 ldrsh, x86-64 movsx). Member
  stores select by WIDTH: the one-byte store an int16_t member used to get
  wrote half of it, and every assigned coordinate collapsed to 0..255.
- int16_t initializers accept a leading minus and are range-checked, so
  `int16_t d = 60000;` is a compile error naming the range: the sentinel bug
  that rendered a whole shader black, turned into a diagnostic. int16_t
  arrays are refused (the indexed load is unsigned) rather than mis-read.
- x86-64 compares dropped REX.W: a value is 32 bits, and arm64 already
  compares in w registers, so a signed compare would have made the two
  backends run the same script differently.
- Xtensa branch-inversion table lists every nibble: the old fallthrough would
  have emitted the OPPOSITE condition for the new signed branch.
- signedArg's undocumented 16-bit window deleted: it was the inverse of
  uint16_t truncation, written down in neither place. div/mod are signed like
  every language a script author knows, with INT32_MIN / -1 guarded (UB, and
  a SIGFPE on x86-64). byteArg saturates the palette byte arguments where a
  cast used to truncate (n * 255 walked its own pattern across the bands).

Light domain
- escape(cx, cy, jx, jy, iters): the Mandelbrot/Julia escape count. The one
  loop a script cannot write, since it squares signed fixed-point in 64 bits.
- uvX/uvY return a signed coordinate, no +32768 bias: the bias forced every
  consumer to subtract it, and that subtraction is exactly what unsigned
  arithmetic broke (a torn plane, a seed thrown outside the set). sin/cos
  KEEP their bias on purpose: a wave has no origin, and scale(sin(a), n) at
  14 call sites relies on the full-span form.
- fractal.mle: new. Julia morphing along the cardioid by default, seed 0 for
  the still Mandelbrot. metal.mle migrated to int16_t members. Both stripped
  to bare-minimum comments. Hardware-verified on shiffy along with ripples
  and plasma (which must and do look identical).
- PanelCardDriver: "v12 and older" is first in the dropdown and the default,
  matching the documented downgrade path. Panel cards enabled on the S3
  firmwares (W5500 SPI Ethernet; esp_eth_transmit is driver-agnostic).

UI
- A control carries its own default (def on ControlDescriptor, INT32_MIN
  sentinel = none): /api/types probes a fresh instance, which for a scripted
  module has no script and so no controls. The script's initializer is the
  default, and the reset button now works on MoonLive sliders.
- app.js defaultFor prefers the control's own default over the type table.

Scripts/MoonDeck
- package_desktop.py --version: the same override contract build_esp32.py
  has, threaded to cmake on all three platforms. The .deb converts -dev.N to
  ~dev.N, dpkg's own spelling of a prerelease. CMakeLists forwards MM_VERSION.
- release.yml: the three desktop jobs resolve the tag and compute the version
  exactly as the esp32 job does (shell: bash for the Windows runner,
  fetch-depth: 0 for the commit count).
- moondeck/moonlive/disasm.py repaired: it included per-ISA lower_*.cpp files
  the platform reorganisation merged into the asm files. Verified on all
  three cross-ISA targets.

Tests
- 96,215 assertions. New: signed comparison per operator, int16_t round trips
  including ASSIGNMENT in tick (the initializer-only test stayed green through
  the store bug), byte saturation both directions, uv sign and saturation,
  escape() inside/boundary/Julia, INT32_MIN division, int16_t array refusal.
  The comparison and store tests are control-checked: reintroducing either
  bug fails them.
- unit_PanelCardDriver updated for the v12 default; a stale frame index that
  passed only by suite order fixed.

Docs/CI
- panel-cards.md: LED Vision setup section with the walkthrough video,
  anchor-linked contents, S3 in the board table, the gigabit switch scoped to
  P4/S3, LED Upgrade 4.0 + 11.09 as the proven pair, the USB dongle for
  LEDUpgrade discovery, power rephrased around multiplexing, the Panels
  layout marked pixel-strip-only (a receiving card owns panel order).
- MoonLiveEffect.md: escape() row; the uv/sin sign conventions and why they
  differ. Roadmap #7 marked shipped with the corrected diagnosis: none of the
  four bugs was a comparison bug, three were the bias convention.

Reviews
- 👾 Reviewer over the working diff, 7 findings + 6 nits, all processed:
  INT32_MIN/-1 guard (fixed), stale test index (fixed), int16_t arrays
  (refused), escape() docs+tests (added), fractal zoom capped at 40 (int16
  wrap on wide walls; metal's far-corner case noted, unreachable on current
  fixtures), scenario "ceiling" changes were observation history polluted by
  background CPU load and were reverted, MIGRATING.md skipped on the product
  owner's call: neither MoonLive nor panel cards is launched.
- Skipped: Improv smoke test (no board attached; the Improv path is
  untouched). The desktop tick delta was collected while a stray desktop
  instance ran at full CPU; scenario timing gates flaked the same way and
  pass on a quiet machine.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ab508

The PR adds signed-coordinate execution and release workflow changes, but valid inputs can still trigger arithmetic overflow or narrowing that produces incorrect visual output, while mutable release dependencies weaken build and publishing integrity. These issues should be fixed before merge.

168-204: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add architecture-specific tests for signed code generation.

The x86-64 suite tests branchGeS, but not load16S. The RISC-V suite only checks shared compilation and does not assert either signed encoding. The ARM64 backend has no dedicated codegen suite.

Add byte-level tests and behavior scenarios for:

  • ARM64 load16S (ldrsh) and branchGeS (GE).
  • RISC-V load16S (lh) and branchGeS (bge, signed funct3).

Use negative int16_t values and signed comparisons. Do not rely only on compilation or emitted length.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Line 242: Pin every astral-sh/setup-uv action in .github/workflows/release.yml
to caf0cab7a618c569241d31dcd442f54681755d39 instead of `@v3`. Update the
references at lines 78, 242, 285, 328, 395, and 556; all listed sites require
the same direct change.

In `@docs/backlog/moonlive-language-roadmap.md`:
- Line 53: Update the roadmap table row for “a direction bit per axis” to
reflect that signed values no longer require this workaround, preferably by
removing the obsolete row or marking the requirement as no longer needed.

In `@docs/tutorials/panel-cards.md`:
- Line 30: The tutorial’s gigabit-switch guidance overstates its bandwidth
benefit for 100 Mbit controllers. Reword the affected switch references to
describe it only as a topology or card-side link-negotiation aid, while
explicitly preserving the 100 Mbit controller-to-switch limitation and
source-side wire-time constraint.
- Line 211: Update the packet-rate example near the documented 1000 Mbit result
to distinguish firmware 0 from v13 and newer: describe the default formula as
rows plus two packets per frame and show 5,200 packets/s for a 128-row wall at
40 fps, while retaining the rows plus four formula and 5,280 packets/s only for
v13 and newer.

In `@moondeck/moonlive/emit_isa.cpp`:
- Line 27: Move architecture-specific backend selection and inclusion out of
emit_isa.cpp and into the src/platform layer. Add or reuse a platform-layer
emitter seam that selects the ARM64 or x86-64 implementation under src/platform,
then have emit_isa.cpp depend only on that neutral interface while preserving
existing emission behavior.

In `@moonlive/effects/fractal.mle`:
- Around line 23-24: Update the cx calculation near uvX() and zoom so
intermediate arithmetic remains wider than int16_t before the value reaches
escape(), preventing signed-coordinate wraparound for zoom values 35–40 while
preserving valid wide-grid rendering; alternatively enforce a maximum zoom of 34
at the relevant control boundary.

In `@moonlive/effects/metal.mle`:
- Around line 26-29: Clamp each polarR-derived distance to the int16_t range
before assigning it to d or passing it into smin, using a shared saturating
signed-distance operation for all three expressions. Preserve the existing
blending behavior, and add coverage for a 255×2 grid to verify far-away
distances do not wrap negative or render as inside.

In `@src/light/moonlive/MoonLiveBuiltins_light.h`:
- Around line 249-254: Update the iteration logic in mm_light_escape to validate
zx and zy magnitudes before computing zx * zx, zy * zy, or 2 * zx * zy; when
either coordinate is too large for safe int64_t multiplication or already
outside the escape radius, terminate as escaped. Preserve normal calculations
for safely bounded coordinates and avoid all signed-overflow paths.

In `@src/ui/app.js`:
- Line 1552: Update the control rendering logic around defaultFor and
DeclaredControl::def so unbounded signed int16 defaults are represented
consistently: render these controls as number inputs, or expand the range input
bounds to include both ctrl.value and def. Ensure reset values are not clamped
differently from the displayed value.

Remove or correct this obsolete compromise row.

The table lists constraints that still force a workaround. This row says signed values force a direction bit per axis. Signed values remove that requirement. Remove the row, or state that the direction-bit workaround is no longer required.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not present a gigabit switch as a bandwidth remedy for a 100 Mbit controller.

The switch can make the card-side port negotiate at 1 Gbit. It cannot increase the controller-to-switch link above 100 Mbit or remove source-side wire time. This conflicts with the no-buffering explanation on Lines [35-39] and the negotiated-speed warning in src/light/drivers/PanelCardDriver.h. Reword the switch as a topology aid and keep the controller-side limitation explicit.

Make the packet-rate example conditional on firmware.

With the default firmware == 0, tick() sends one brightness frame, one packet per row, and one sync frame. The formula on Line [211] counts two brightness and two sync frames, which applies only to v13 and newer. For a 128-row wall at 40 fps, the default is 5,200 packets/s, not 5,280. State the rate separately for each firmware generation.

Prevent signed-coordinate overflow before escape().

At zoom 35 through 40, uvX() == -32768 produces a value below -32768 after Line 24. The int16_t store wraps it positive. A valid wide grid then renders the Mandelbrot left edge with coordinates from the right side.

Keep this value in a wider expression, or limit zoom to 34.

Clamp distances before narrowing to int16_t.

On a valid high-aspect grid, uvX() can reach 32767 and polarR() can exceed 32767. Assigning that distance to d wraps it negative. Lines 32-34 then render those far-away pixels as inside the surface.

Provide a shared saturating signed-distance operation before storing or combining these values. Add a scenario that uses a 255×2 grid.

Prevent signed overflow in mm_light_escape.

zx * zx, zy * zy, and 2 * zx * zy can overflow int64_t before the escape check. For example, escape(32767*32767 + 32767*32767, 32767*32767 + 32767*32767, 0, 0, 2) reaches this path on its second iteration. Signed overflow is undefined behavior. Check coordinate magnitude before multiplication and treat an out-of-radius value as escaped.

As per coding guidelines, “Unbreakable in use: any input, any order, any size — degrade visibly, never crash.”

Render unbounded signed defaults consistently.

Line 1552 now enables script-level defaults for int16 reset controls. DeclaredControl::def can be outside the control range. For an unbounded control with def = -32768, reset sends -32768, but the range input clamps to -100 while the number input shows -32768. Render unbounded int16 controls as number inputs, or expand the UI range to include both ctrl.value and def.

Review findings from the pre-merge Reviewer and CodeRabbit, fixed on the
branch: escape() can no longer overflow on absurd coordinates, int16_t is
documented in the module reference, and the macOS first-launch instructions
tell the truth about macOS 15+. Every backend's new signed encodings are now
pinned byte for byte.

Performance: desktop 182 us/tick (the previous 491 was measured under a stray
full-CPU desktop instance; this run confirms the regression was load, not
code), flash unchanged.

Core
- escape() clamps its coordinates to |8.0| Q13: a script passing a full int32
  made zx * zx reach 2^62 and the escape test's sum overflow int64, which is
  UB. Anything past the clamp is deep outside the escape radius and iterates
  identically. Pinned by a test handing it INT32_MIN.
- byteArg opens with signedArg, keeping the ABI reinterpretation in one home
  (the helpers reordered so the call compiles).

Light domain
- fractal.mle zoom stays capped at 40, where the int16 worst case fits
  exactly; CodeRabbit's 35..40 wrap claim checked numerically and refuted.

Tests
- The four ISAs' signed encodings pinned at the byte level: Xtensa l16si (the
  r-nibble that ACTUALLY shipped wrong once this cycle) and the blt inversion,
  RISC-V lh and bge funct3, and a new unit_moonlive_codegen_arm64.cpp for
  ldrsh, b.ge and the 32-bit cmp width. 96,246 assertions.

Docs/CI
- MoonLiveEffect.md documents int16_t as the third member type (range check,
  negative initializer, no addInt16, no arrays, why no int8_t) and no longer
  promises a diagnostic the compiler stopped giving.
- panel-cards.md: the packet-rate example follows the v12 default (rows + 2,
  5,200 pkt/s) with the v13 form beside it; the gigabit switch states plainly
  it does not make the controller faster; two spelling survivors fixed.
- README + package_desktop.py: the macOS first-launch story corrected for
  macOS 15+, where the right-click Open bypass no longer exists for ad-hoc
  signed apps; the quarantine command with the real dialog text quoted, in
  the README and every in-archive README.txt (restored from the PO's stash).
- The roadmap's direction-bit compromise row deleted: no longer forced.

Reviews
- Pre-merge Reviewer: no code defects; 6 doc/nit findings, all fixed.
- CodeRabbit: 4 findings fixed (above), 5 skipped after verification: the
  fractal zoom wrap is arithmetic that fits, int16 members cannot become
  controls so the app.js default case cannot occur, metal's far-corner wrap
  stays accepted as unreachable on current fixtures, emit_isa.cpp's cross-ISA
  includes are the tool's design, and pinning setup-uv to a SHA is a
  repo-wide supply-chain policy for the product owner rather than a one-file
  edit (every action here pins by tag).
